Here’s a list of the pros and cons in my humble opinion:
• The screen color was impressive, 4.8″ 16M-color Super AMOLED HD capacitive touchscreen; Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
• The size of the handset is practical, not as wide as the Galaxy Note but not as small as the Galaxy SII.
• Fully-customized Android OS v4.0.4 interface.
• It says Marble Blue on the website but it is actually Purple, less plastic feeling that previous Samsung handsets.
• The multi-burst camera option is great and fast, besides being 8 MP wide-angle lens autofocus camera with LED flash, face, smile and blink detection.
• It is Super slim at only 8.6mm, yet it felt luxurious.
• I like the fact that it doesn’t have a dedicated Camera key, I sort of keep hitting it accidentally on devices that have that button.
• S Voice is as bad as Siri on my iPhone 4S, yet there’s no support for our region. But on the good side; it understood Amman with a regular accent and didn’t link me to Oman like Siri did.

It was only a sneak peek; I’ll probably have more info once I get the chance to test the device when it comes out; Suggested price for it might be between the 550 – 650 JD range (it is for 800$ on Amazon.com now)

Legendary Music Producer, Quincy Jones has collaborated with Emirati social entrepreneur Badr Jafar, to jointly produce the Arabic charity single entitled TOMORROW/BOKRA. The song involves 24 leading Arab Artists from 16 nations across the Middle East and North Africa singing with one voice for a better tomorrow. Grammy-nominated international superstar Akon has also lent his vocals to the track, and Shakira, who is of Lebanese descent, has recorded a special introduction to the music video.

Quincy Jones’ original Grammy winning version of the song ‘Tomorrow (A Better You, A Better Me)’ has now been re-adapted and produced by Quincy Jones and Grammy Award winning Moroccan producer- RedOne, with Arabic lyrics written by Majida El Roumi and musical adaptation by Kadim Al Sahir. The music video and documentary film have been directed by American born, Malek Akkad (son of Moustapha Akkad, Director of ‘The Message’).

All funds raised as part of the single’s global distribution will be collected by the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture in support of the United Nations World Food Program, Dubai Culture & Arts Authority and the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation among others, to finance educational programs in music, arts and culture for children from across the Arab world.
